This week on the pod, Jonah and Vanessa are thrilled to welcome their friend Bill Hader!! They reminisce on the time they all went to Amsterdam for the Trainwreck publicity tour and having the fanciest, and at times scariest, time of their lives. Plus, Bill reminds Vanessa about how he used to lovingly bully her at the read through table at SNL and the time that Jonah did one of Bill's first magazine interviews for "Superbad" all the way back in 2007. We also get into Bill playing bass live on SNL with Corrosion of Conformity and discuss that childhood must-do of sneaking into movies: The times Bill thought he was ready for an R movie but absolutely was not and the time Vanessa got caught sneaking into an R-rated movie and subsequently asked The First Todd pretend to be a lawyer to get her money back, which... he did? (Also, Jonah apparently still did technically sneak into movies as an adult. Thanks, MoviePass.) Finally, in a rousing game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN, the group debates talking before a movie starts, etiquette for when kids wait for the bus and moms controlling their kids at the store. Check out this fantastic episode; you'll be BARRY glad you did!!

Knoxville is more than just Smoky Mountains and football; it's a subtle haven for movie lovers, too. But with two AMC theaters now closed in Knoxville, you might be wondering where to go.

With its headquarters in Knoxville, Regal has four theaters to choose from − each one surprisingly different than its sister cinemas. Beyond that, independent cinemas and drive-ins offer unique viewing experiences that are hard to replicate.

Knox News journalists Ryan Wilusz and Keenan Thomas took time to discuss what makes each Knoxville theater different to help you decide which one is best for you.

If a bear does cocaine in the woods and no one is around to see it, did it really do cocaine?

 The answer is a resounding yes, and "Cocaine Bear" places this far-fetched premise prominently on display during the new film directed by Elizabeth Banks.

 With its ties to Knoxville − and Knox News − it was only fitting for two reporters, Ryan Wilusz and Keenan Thomas, to be among the first to see the movie at Regal Cinebarre. 

Listen for our thoughts about the movie and for what viewers should expect in terms of Knoxville references. Tap here for the full story.
